Press Room | Pisacane with the media

These are the words of Fabio Pisacane, Cagliari coach, after the defeat at Genoa. The rossoblù coach analyzed the match with the media at the “Ferraris”.Queste le parole di Fabio Pisacane, allenatore del Cagliari, dopo la sconfitta in casa Genoa. L’analisi del tecnico rossoblù con i media al “Ferraris”.

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE
“More than the initial goal, I’m disappointed about the entire match. We had a lot of shots, and we weren’t able to be clinical. We’d produced a lot in Cremona, too, and the same thing today. There’s a bitter taste in our mouths, but the result is heavy and we’re responsible, even if I think the scoreline was exaggerated. The 2-0 was a blow. We’ll analyze this defeat. Nights like this are part of our journey, and we’ll have to grow through certain difficulties. Are you worried about the goals we conceded in a certain way after easy reads? There’s definitely a clear error in our department. I don’t like naming names or going into detail in these cases. If you concede goals so quickly, in a direct clash in such a heated stadium, you’ll struggle. But we reacted correctly, putting in the effort of a top team, and I’ll take that home. The hope and goal is to work on erasing certain mistakes, avoiding repeating them, and improving further.

RELATIONSHIP WITH DANIELE DE ROSSI
“I was fortunate enough to play against De Rossi on several occasions. He was a champion on and off the pitch. He always speaks his mind honestly, and it makes me honored to hear such words from him. He’s been very close to me in recent days after what happened, and I thank him for that. It speaks volumes about his humanity, first and foremost.

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE
“Nothing happened, even after Luvumbo’s chance, which won’t let me sleep tonight. We produced, built, and reacted. It’s a shame we didn’t capitalize. We went behind again after a few minutes on an easy read. We need to work on all aspects. Let’s move forward and focus on Saturday by resetting our game. No condemnation, just a desire to continue improving and taking care of the details, because growth comes from this.”

CHOICES
Esposito’s substitution? He’s recovering from a significant knock to his shin. As the minutes went by, I made a technical decision based on several factors. A little less sluggishness? It’s a matter of tactical readings. There’s a mistake in marking, and we weren’t good at absorbing Colombo’s movement on the outside line. Like with Luvumbo, no one is condemned; we all move forward together. What’s missing? Easy, if we don’t score… Maybe we need to be more clinical, but it becomes difficult to expect more than 36 shots. I’d be willing to commit to always taking all these shots away from home, and if you’ve seen further room for improvement, I’m happy. Let’s focus on certain mistakes that shouldn’t be made or repeated to avoid missing opportunities.

REDUCING ERRORS
“I think everything in football balances out. Sometimes we’ve taken more than we should have, but today we’re getting less. Let’s move forward calmly and with hard work. We’re doing good things, as we saw today. It’s disappointing to make certain mistakes, which definitely need to be analyzed and ironed out so we can get what we deserve with our play and attitude.”

COME BACK IN GENOA
“It’s always a special feeling. Even as Primavera coach, I played my first game away to Genoa. I may not be the luckiest with the Grifone, but here I’m grateful to everyone, to the entire environment. Here I was reborn, I spent my adolescence and became a man, so I will always owe a lot to Genoa.”
